lyrics

The final fling for the unholy three
And what's growing in Brooklyn is no kind of tree
It lacks the local majesty

Wagons west tonight
To find the land that's been left right
I want to spend my half-earned pay
Where the palm trees eternally sway

It happened so fast and I know you're to blame somehow
He finished his speech and it turned me American

The rockets' red glare reflects on the sea
I know serious business was never for me
I've lost my taste for irony

"Wagons west" you cry
Angels we have heard on high
Singing songs upon the sand
I'm a foreigner in my own land

It happened so fast and I know you're to blame somehow
He finished his speech and it turned me American

It takes more than a plough
To crease that honest and able brow
It's not the actor's turn to bow
The scene is ready for scoring now
The scene is ready for scoring now
Meet me on the corner of four score and seven

It happened so fast and I know you're to blame somehow
He finished his speech and it turned me American
